Development and analysis of a high temperature electrolyser for the Cu-Cl cycle for hydrogen production
(2017-01-01)
A number of thermochemical cycles have been investigated to produce hydrogen from water. However, most of these cycles operate at over 800°C. The relatively lower temperature (550°C) requirement and use of inexpensive ...
System integration and optimization of copper-chlorine thermochemical cycle with various options for hydrogen production
(2013-08-01)
The Copper-Chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical water splitting cycle is one of the most attractive alternative thermochemical cycles for clean hydrogen production due to its lower temperature requirement and better overall ...
Analysis of the thermal hydraulics of a multiphase oxygen production reactor in the Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-06-01)
In the thermochemical water splitting process by Cu-Cl cycle, oxygen gas is produced by an endothermic thermolysis process in a three-phase reactor. In this thesis, the required heat for the thermolysis process is provided ...
Optimal temperature range identification for a hydrogen production cycle using genetic algorithm-based Monte Carlo simulation method
(2016-08-01)
Nuclear-based hydrogen generation is accumulating more and more interest, both from academia and industry. In nuclear hydrogen production system based on 4-step Cu-Cl cycle, proper temperature inputs play an essential role ...

Evaporative heat and mass transfer with solubility driven solidification of aqueous droplet flows
(2009-03-01)
Nuclear-based hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition using a copper-chlorine cycle consists of a series of chemical reactions that split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This is accomplished through ...
Dynamic flowgraph methodology for reliability modelling of networked control systems: with application to a nuclear-based hydrogen production plant
(2009-12-01)
The use of communication networks in digital control systems introduces stability and reliability concerns. Standard reliability and safety assessment methods need further modification to accommodate the issue in the ...
Thermal management of the thermochemical Cu-Cl cycle linked with industrial processes for hydrogen production
(2018-04-01)
This thesis study develops, analyzes and evaluates three integrated systems using process heats available in industrial applications for hydrogen production via copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle. The first system consists of ...
Investigation of copper deposition on steel in molten copper chloride
(2018-01-01)
Hydrogen is considered as the most prominent candidate for clean energy generation. The Copper Chloride (Cu-Cl) cycle has been chosen as an effective cycle for production of hydrogen due to its comparatively lower operating ...
